Lorex is seeking a motivated Junior QA Tester to join our quality assurance team. This is a foundational role perfect for an individual eager to learn the complexities of a "full-stack" ecosystem. You will be responsible for testing how our hardware (recorders/cameras/sensors), firmware, cloud services, and client applications (Mobile, Desktop, Web) work together as a single, seamless product.

As a Junior QA Tester, you will focus on executing test cases, identifying bugs, and ensuring that our smart home security solutions meet the high standards our customers expect. You will work under the guidance of Senior QA members and collaborate across hardware and software teams.

- Defect Logging: Clearly document bugs, glitches, and inconsistencies in JIRA,



providing step-by-step reproduction instructions and supporting media (screenshots/logs).
- Regression Testing: Perform routine checks on new software builds to ensure that existing features remain functional after updates.

2. Documentation & Support

- Test Case Maintenance: Assist in updating test libraries as product features evolve.
- Release Assistance: Support the release process by validating final builds and assisting with app store metadata or internal distribution tasks.
- Log Collection: Help isolate root causes by capturing device logs and monitoring cloud API responses during the testing process.

3. Cross-Functional Learning
